Recently, the Mackinac Center in Michigan put in several FOIA requests against several state university professors who had written op-eds and personal blog posts that they didn't agree with. The requests were virtually unprecedented and included any information using state equipment mentioning "Maddow". The Center has not responded to any requests for clarification,
until now.
And they pretty much admit that it's just an excuse to harass the people with whom they disagree:
The unfolding of the Wisconsin turmoil and the pitched debate over the Michigan legislation provided us an opportunity to chase an old story with a FOIA.
